Biopower, psychopower and ecopower

Abstract

The thermoenvironmental crisis is the phenomenon that evidences the crisis of instrumental economic rationality that prevails in our civilization. This fact is the responsibility of the human being (to do/make and to be), therefore, it is us who, in the face of ecocide and exclusion, must make a sustainable choice that preserves biodiversity. Three power strategies are analyzed: Biopower (Foucault), psychopower (Byung-Chul Han) and ecopower (Leff and Naredo). The philosophy of truth and goodness must unmask biopower, psychopower and ecopower; it is an ethical-political duty that cannot be avoided in this twilight of history, since we are all victims and accomplices. After all, saving the biosphere is saving man and vice versa.
